The page gives the verse in Hebrew as the Westminster Leningrad Codex has it, its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies, built from MACULA Hebrew — and its pragmatics: who acts — ye, I, house — and what happens in the verse to statutes, counsels, thee, reproach, read clause by clause by Mova's frames. Beside it stand the Aramaic of Targum Jonathan and the English of the Jewish Publication Society's 1917 translation, each English sentence with a tree of its own. It is one of the 7 chapters of Micah on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between. וְיִשְׁתַּמֵּ֞ר חֻקּ֣וֹת עָמְרִ֗י וְכֹל֙ מַעֲשֵׂ֣ה בֵית־אַחְאָ֔ב וַתֵּלְכ֖וּ בְּמֹֽעֲצוֹתָ֑ם לְמַעַן֩ תִּתִּ֨י אֹתְךָ֜ לְשַׁמָּ֗ה וְיֹשְׁבֶ֙יהָ֙ לִשְׁרֵקָ֔ה וְחֶרְפַּ֥ת עַמִּ֖י תִּשָּֽׂאוּ׃פ [For the statutes of Omri are kept, and all the works of the house of Ahab, and ye walk in their counsels; that I may make thee an astonishment, and the inhabitants thereof a hissing; and ye shall bear the reproach of My people.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/MIC.97/) ## The tree {#tree} Right to left, as the Hebrew is read; a prefix or suffix is a word of its own, and a line under the words joins those written as one. Under each word its part of speech and MACULA's English gloss. ```conllu rtl gloss # sent_id = wlc:MIC:84 # text = וְיִשְׁתַּמֵּ֞ר חֻקּ֣וֹת עָמְרִ֗י וְכֹל֙ מַעֲשֵׂ֣ה בֵית־אַחְאָ֔ב וַתֵּלְכ֖וּ בְּמֹֽעֲצוֹתָ֑ם לְמַעַן֩ תִּתִּ֨י אֹתְךָ֜ לְשַׁמָּ֗ה וְיֹשְׁבֶ֙יהָ֙ לִשְׁרֵקָ֔ה וְחֶרְפַּ֥ת עַמִּ֖י תִּשָּֽׂאוּ׃פ # verse = MIC.6.16 1-2 וְיִשְׁתַּמֵּ֞ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=MIC_6:16!1|MId=o330060160011|Strong=2050b 2 יִשְׁתַּמֵּ֞ר שָׁמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HITHPAEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=it.has.been.kept|Ref=MIC_6:16!1|MId=o330060160012|Strong=8104|Frame=A0:330060100031;A1:330060160021;330060160051;|Type=yiqtol 3 חֻקּ֣וֹת חֻקָּה NOUN _ Number=Plur 2 obj _ Gloss=the.statutes|Ref=MIC_6:16!2|MId=o330060160021|Strong=2708 4 עָמְרִ֗י עׇמְרִי PROPN _ _ 3 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Omri|Ref=MIC_6:16!3|MId=o330060160031|Strong=6018 5-6 וְכֹל֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 6 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=MIC_6:16!4|MId=o330060160041|Strong=2050b 6 כֹל֙ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 3 conj _ Gloss=every|Ref=MIC_6:16!4|MId=o330060160042|Strong=3605 7 מַעֲשֵׂ֣ה מַעֲשֶׂה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 compound:smixut _ Gloss=(the).deed|Ref=MIC_6:16!5|MId=o330060160051|Strong=4639 8 בֵית־ בַּיִת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 7 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.the.house|Ref=MIC_6:16!6|MId=o330060160061|Strong=1004|SpaceAfter=No 9 אַחְאָ֔ב אַחְאָב PROPN _ _ 8 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Ahab|Ref=MIC_6:16!7|MId=o330060160071|Strong=0256 10-11 וַתֵּלְכ֖וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 11 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=MIC_6:16!8|MId=o330060160081|Strong=2050b 11 תֵּלְכ֖וּ הלך VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 2 conj _ Gloss=you.have.walked|Ref=MIC_6:16!8|MId=o330060160082|Strong=1980|Frame=A0:330060100031;|Type=wayyiqtol 12-14 בְּמֹֽעֲצוֹתָ֑ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=MIC_6:16!9|MId=o330060160091|Strong=0871a 13 מֹֽעֲצוֹת מוֹעֵצָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 11 obl _ Gloss=schemes|Ref=MIC_6:16!9|MId=o330060160092|Strong=4156 14 ָ֑ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 13 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=MIC_6:16!9|MId=o330060160093|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 15 לְמַעַן֩ לְמַעַן SCONJ _ _ 16 mark _ Gloss=so.as|Ref=MIC_6:16!10|MId=o330060160101|Strong=4616 16-17 תִּתִּ֨י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 תִּתּ נָתַן VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 11 advcl _ Gloss=I|Ref=MIC_6:16!11|MId=o330060160111|Strong=5414|Frame=A0:330060160112;A1:330060160122;|Type=infinitive_construct 17 ִ֨י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 16 nsubj _ Gloss=to.make|Ref=MIC_6:16!11|MId=o330060160112|Strong=5204a|Type=pronominal 18-19 אֹתְךָ֜ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 אֹת אֵת ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=|Ref=MIC_6:16!12|MId=o330060160121|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 19 ְךָ֜ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 16 obj _ Gloss=you|Ref=MIC_6:16!12|MId=o330060160122|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 20-21 לְשַׁמָּ֗ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=into|Ref=MIC_6:16!13|MId=o330060160131|Strong=3807a 21 שַׁמָּ֗ה שַׁמָּה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 16 obl _ Gloss=a.horror|Ref=MIC_6:16!13|MId=o330060160132|Strong=8047 22-24 וְיֹשְׁבֶ֙יהָ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 23 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=MIC_6:16!14|MId=o330060160141|Strong=2050b 23 יֹשְׁבֶ֙י יָשַׁב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 16 conj _ Gloss=inhabitants|Ref=MIC_6:16!14|MId=o330060160142|Strong=3427|Type=participle_active 24 הָ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 23 nmod:poss _ Gloss=its|Ref=MIC_6:16!14|MId=o330060160143|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 25-26 לִשְׁרֵקָ֔ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 26 case _ Gloss=into|Ref=MIC_6:16!15|MId=o330060160151|Strong=3807a 26 שְׁרֵקָ֔ה שְׁרֵקָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 23 obl _ Gloss=hissing|Ref=MIC_6:16!15|MId=o330060160152|Strong=8322 27-28 וְחֶרְפַּ֥ת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 27 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 31 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=MIC_6:16!16|MId=o330060160161|Strong=2050b 28 חֶרְפַּ֥ת חֶרְפָּה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 31 obj _ Gloss=the.reproach|Ref=MIC_6:16!16|MId=o330060160162|Strong=2781 29-30 עַמִּ֖י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 29 עַמּ עַם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 28 compound:smixut _ Gloss=my.people|Ref=MIC_6:16!17|MId=o330060160171|Strong=5971 30 ִ֖י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 29 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=MIC_6:16!17|MId=o330060160172|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 31 תִּשָּֽׂאוּ נָשָׂא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 2 conj _ Gloss=you.will.bear|Ref=MIC_6:16!18|MId=o330060160181|Strong=5375|Frame=A0:330060100031;A1:330060160162;|Type=yiqtol|SpaceAfter=No 32 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 31 punct _ Ref=MIC_6:16!18|SpaceAfter=No 33 פ פ PUNCT _ _ 31 punct _ Ref=MIC_6:16!18 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
